Step 2: Diamond Maps Setup
Choose one of the 3 sections below based on how you are using Diamond Maps
2a: If you are using the Diamond Maps Offline app
- These instructions assume you already have a Diamond Maps account. If you don't then go to diamondmaps.com and start a free trial. See Video #201 for instructions on adding some layers to your map which you will need prior to proceeding.
Go to your Android or Apple app store and install "Diamond Maps Offline". Open the app and enter your Diamond Maps user name and password. Then click the Download button to download one of your maps to your phone/tablet for offline use.
- Click on the map name to open the map.
- Click the Menu button and choose GPS Status
- Click the select button on the GPS Source line and select Zeno Connect
- Leave the source datum set to WGS84
- If your FLX100 Plus is mounted on a pole enter the pole height in the box provided.
- If you see Lat, Lon, and Accuracy readings changing in the grey box then that confirms that Diamond Maps is connected to the FLX100 Plus through Zeno Connect. Proceed to step 3.
2b: If you are running Diamond Maps in your browser on an Android Device
- Open your browser and go to diamondmaps.com and click the Sign In link to login and open your map. If you don't already have an account you can click the Start Free Trial button to create one. We recommend saving your map's web page as a home screen button on your phone/tablet.
- If you haven't already created any layers on your map you can do so by clicking Layers, then Add. To mark points with your FLX100 Plus you will need to create a point based layer such as valves or manholes.
- Click the Menu button in the map and choose "GPS Status"
- Change the Source to Zeno Connect.
- Set the Datum to WGS84.
- If your FLX100 Plus is mounted on a pole enter the pole height in the box provided.
- If you see Latitude, Longitude, and Uncertainty number changing on the screen that confirms Diamond Maps is connected to the through Zeno Connect. Proceed to step 3.
2c: If you are running Diamond Maps in your browser on an Apple Device
- The setup steps for an Apple phone/tablet are identical to the Android setup step above (2b) with the exception of the last step. Apple does not allow a secure website such as Diamond Maps to communicate with the Zeno Connect app. So in the last step of the above instructions you will actually get an error message. Click the link in the error message to switch to an alternate version of the Diamond Maps web page. Here you may need to repeat the GPS Status screen steps.
- Be sure to save this web page as a home screen button on your phone so that you can skip this step in the future.
